Below are some of our Frequently asked questions:

Where is the closest boat launch in the area?
There are two boat launches on the lake. Please refer to the property photos for a helpful map showing their locations.

Is the fire pit shared with the other rental?
No, your fire pit is private and exclusively for your use. Don’t forget to bring your own firewood!

How many paddle boards, kayaks, and paddles are available? Are life vests provided?
We provide 2 kayaks, 2 paddle boards (each with their own paddles), and 2 paddleboats. Life vests are available in the storage bench. Please note that these are shared with the second rental on the property.

Is the grill propane?
Yes, it is a propane grill. Each guest is responsible for properly using and cleaning the grill after use.

What are the check-out instructions?
We’ll send you detailed check-out instructions the day before your departure. If you'd like to review them earlier, feel free to message us.

Can I use the waterfront area?
Absolutely! The waterfront area is shared between Lakeside Cottage and Casa Lakeview. We kindly ask that you be respectful of our other guests and share the watercraft. There are plenty of water toys available for everyone to enjoy!

Do you have a boat lift I can use?
We do not have a shared boat lift. Our only lift is currently used for our pontoon boat (which you're welcome to book separately—just message us for details). However, you’re welcome to tie off to the dock. Please message us in advance to confirm dock space availability for your boat.

How do I access the dock?
You can access the dock by following the path on the left side of the Lakeside Cottage property (4246 Trails End Rd). This path leads directly to the dock, where you’ll find our rentable pontoon, kayak rack, and paddleboats.

Can I use the unopened snacks, soda, or condiments in the fridge or pantry?
Yes! This is our summer home, and we love sharing what we’ve stocked with our guests. We run this on the honor system—if you use something, please replace it with a similar item. Before checking out, please discard any perishable items. You’re welcome to leave unopened, non-perishable goods for the next guest.

Is there a grocery store nearby?
Yes! We recommend Tom’s on Gun Lake—it’s the closest option and well-stocked with everything you need, including beer, wine, ice, fresh produce, and a meat market. As a second option, Town & Country Supermarket is located on the other side of the lake.

Where can I fill up the pontoon or boat gas tank?
We recommend the Citgo gas station located right on the lake:
11937 Marsh Rd, Shelbyville, MI
There’s also a great pizza place next door if you’re feeling hungry!
